Both will be totally fine. As I posted above, I'm on 17x8 +48 and both of your choices will have more clearance inside than mine. Fender clearance is not even close to being an issue. I'm running the same size tire.

Personally, I'd go with the 8" width.
Question for u, as i dont have coils yet, the oem perch is still the same correct? W 18" rims at stock height the perch is right at the top lip of the rim, the spring itself is only a rubbing issue w the sidewall. (Im assuming with 17" the perch would line up inconveniently with the sidewall...)
